Check People is a terrific company. It was quick and easy to run a background check through them. Will use again!
This website has been extremely useful for me. They provide quick and accurate reports and it is very cost effective based on the quality of information you get. Honestly, I can't say anything bad about Check People.
They charged my card 5 times in 3 days for services I didn't ask for or want! $29.16, $8.99, $6.99 $1 and another $29.16! I didnt want authorize or ask for any of their services and they refuse to refund my money! Horrible customer service. My guess is that they are used to people being busy and they obviously charge additional unwanted and unauthorized charges and are very used to hearing the same phone calls from ppl they have stolen from and have been coached well on how to refuse to make anything right. Very nasty negative customer "service" representatives. Spoke to 3 different customer service reps and all I have to say is WOW! Didnt realize there were "businesses" like that in this day and age when every dollar counts so much. Just awful. They didn't deserve the one star.
I LOVE YOU GUYS! Seriously, you really get good value for your money with Check People. I'm never going to use another website because everything you get here is useful and detailed. It's really the best.
They do not present the charge clearly at all. It is hidden in the small text towards the bottom as part of a large amount of text with a gold block. I don't recall ever associating the color gold with "warning" or "alarm". I perceive the color gold as beneficial or more wealth. In that sense, the exclamation mark still makes sense.
The clickable link that charged me was a large, green button that does not mention clicking it will cause a charge. Nor did clicking it give me the option to allow my card to be charged.
The very simple request for a refund was difficult to do and exposed some very concerning matters about your charging process. They claim I had to either accept the $6.99 charge, but the button reads in large, very readable letters, "CONTINUE… YES, I WANT PDF REPORT ACCESS!". It does NOT say, "I AGREE TO PAY $6.99 FOR PDF REPORT ACCESS!", and that is what the button assumes I am doing.
Multiple calls, no refund. Don't go there.
This site is a scam. They make you pay 1.00 then continously bill you 29.16 every month. The use your card info falsely. Don't waste your money. They should be out of business.
What a fantastic platform. I honestly didn't even know a site like this existed! I sell a lot of products online and sometimes I'm hesitant to have random people come pick items up so now I use Check People before hand.
Buying and selling online is a hit or miss business as you don't know who you're meeting. Check People helps me know what I'm getting into. Can't get by without it.
As a new property owner, Check People is a great for me to check into who I'm renting my property to. Provides me with peace of mind.
I've used Check People's service a few times this year and I can't complain. I got the info I needed, when I needed it, and canceling was easy. Thanks Check People!
They promise in 10 minutes if u sign up it will give u 3 day access to any search. After that if you do not cancel it will cost $29.16 /month. However then you agree and press submit and they do not take $1 from your account they take $29.16. They say that only $1 will be deducted and it states this line in about 10 different places including their billing terms. They are obviously lying. I get paid later today but had $5 on my card so I thought I would try it. My card kept getting declined so I pulled up my bank info and it told me how they were trying to deduct $29.16. Thankfully it was declined that's such crap. I would not do business with them if I were u. Who knows what else they will lie to u about and charge u with.
***Actually I just read the terms of service which basically say they charge u with more than 1 service fee when u sign up so I guess they do tell u in the fine print. But irregardless they still false advertise where they tell u only $1 will be deducted from your card.
It's an excellent service for me. Check People has me saved a lot of time and now, I don't have to search for the history of my list of people manually.
I was told I accepted a charge of 6.99 to download unlimited reports. The only thing is, I read everything. There was no option to accept or decline this feature. I definitely didn't download any or even consider downloading an option. Buyer beware, they will take your money, thievery at its finest. For anyone willing to look, you will find some 5 star reviews are obviously repeated. Different names a few months later, same exact reviews and stories behind the positive remarks.
If you don't want to be tricked into paying for a subscription you never applied for, I'd steer clear of this site. I never signed up for a trial subscription, and yet I saw a monthly charge for it on my bank account. I inform support of this and ask for a refund, and guess what my answer was? They got my payment info because I bought another product off their site for $2.33, and they used my credit card info to bill me for this bs subscription, and then they won't give it back if you call them out on it. It's a website run by thieves.
Nowadays you can't really trust everyone you meet, not to mention when it comes to dating. My friend suggested looking into Check People when I started using online dating and thank god she did! Every time I start talking to someone, I check them out on Check People first.
I use Check People quite often, and 99% of the time, I am extremely pleased with the results and information given. I've also used other websites before and was never as happy with them. Great job Check People!
Love this website and how accurate the results are. Other websites will only give you basic information but I really like how Check People provides me with the answers to questions I didn't even know I had
I actually used Check People and another site at the same time to compare results I was doing on a background check. When looking at the information provided by both sites, it was made clear that Check People is the way to go.
Excellent service and extremely accurate results. I tested it out first with names of people I already know to make sure the results were legit and they 100% were. Very happy with this website.
I own a building in the city and I'm always worried when looking for new tenants. A friend of mine suggested I look up a website to do back ground checks on prospects and I came across Check People! What an amazing tool, would highly suggest it to anyone.
Answer: Scam! Beware, they will drain your bank before you even have a chance to notice!
Answer: I had to cancel my card with my bank and file 3 claims before I got $4.33 back. But, Check people will say they didn't take it and say that you have to do a 3 way call for them to verify. I don't know about you, but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to technology.
Answer: BECAUSE THIS COMPANY WILL RIP YOU OFF! CALL YOUR CARD HOLDER IMMEDIATELY AND STOP PAYMENT!
Answer: Report them to the FCC. I did. They say they'll charge you one amount, then go nuts on your card.
